Did you know that most hosting companies that specialize in virtual hosting are more closely tied than you’d expect. So if you’re dissatisfied with the service of one provider and you hop to the next, that provider might still be owned by the same umbrella provider that owned the first company you were with. The standard of service may not end up being all that different. Just something to consider as you hone in on your provider of choice.

If you’re a website owner that primarily uses virtual hosting as your hosting solution for your various websites, you’ll likely become familiar with service hopping fairly quickly. Make note of your experiences with each provider so that as you cycle through, you can hone in on your long-term provider of choice. Make sure you leave a note about who that is once you find ’em!
